Otherwise, I think the only choice is to use AppleScript. By the way, I don't understand what you mean by "Apple continues to not understand string processing"... You can use AppleScript only for user interface; afterwards, you would call your Perl scripts (or sed, or awk scripts, as you like) with the "do shell script" command...

Thanks, that's what I'm doing now.


Does anyone have experience working with TeX and NWE? If so, any useful scripts or macros to automate the workflow? I currently use iTeXMac, but I don't like it very much as a word processor (slow, lacks features, doesn't really help me write LaTeX anyway), although I like it for workflow (easy to compile documents and see the results in PDF within a few seconds).

I think Yusuke (Kino) is working on some "rtf2TeX" scripts.


I wrote myself a set of macros/scripts for converting Classic Nisus files to rtf, TeX and html, and Unicode text files:

But I think this is not exactly what you are looking for.

Thanks for the suggestions, Nobumi and Jonathan. I think I found a solution that will work for now. I found I can use an external editor with iTeXMac and if I create a custom project file with it rather than using the generic ones, I can get a good workflow going, albeit one that requires switching between applications. At any rate, it's better than editing documents in iTeXMac.
